Are there any savvy ways to get braces as an adult?

Not sure if this is the right section to post this but I have been looking into getting braces for cosmetic reasons and also to correct my bite, I have had a few consultations and the one I was most happy with was around £4,500.

I was wondering if there are any clever ways to get braces as an adult like maybe dental insurance but I doubt many will cover this type of treatment

Thanks in advance

    In a word, no. No insurance or dental plan covers braces or cosmetic dentistry.

    Some orthodontists offer interest free payments , you can always ask.

    My orthodontics offered one year interest free payments but this would have been a lot to pay each month so I got a 30 month interest free credit card, set up a direct debit to make sure it was paid off within the 30 months.
